Just inked the deal last week, would like to know what Car Man thinks, it took several weeks of back and forth and many emails to get the deal done, but in the end I'm very happy. This car kicks [non-permissible content removed], period. I was a returning Ally customer with a credit score well into the 800s. I came into the deal with a $1,000 allowance from Ally. The dealer paid my last two payments on my 2010 CTS Sedan I was turning in early and also paid my first payment/title fee on the new car.

Hi kapkanimd. Ally's June base lease rate and residual value for a 24-month lease of a 2013 CTS Coupe with 12,000 miles per year are 1.0% and 67%.

General Motors is currently providing a $1,300 cash incentive on 24-month leases of this car through Ally. There's another $1,000 cash incentive on leases of this car to the current owners of select competitive models.

I'm looking to lease a 2013 Cadillac CTS Sedan AWD Luxury or a 2013 Cadillac ATS AWD Luxury, both with no other options. I would like a 10k/24mo, 12k/24mo, or 12k/36mo. I am eligible for GMS but I am not eligible for Conquest. I keep getting numbers back varying by as much as $90/month and most are reluctant to share the "real" numbers.

I'm also considering an 2013 Equinox AWD LT 4 cylinder with no options but the Chevy dealerships seem to be more straightforward.

I have never leased before and find it way more confusing than purchasing.

You are lucky if you have enough Cadillac dealers nearby to compare numbers and even luckier if they all have the car you want.

If you are going to lease, they will have to show you the numbers on the lease agreement, at least the cap cost, cap reduction, residual, tax. If something looks wrong, don't sign it.

The varying numbers means one dealer is discounting more, unless one is basing it on 10k and another on 12k. One might be $0 down another might be $2000 down. A down payment lowers your lease payment, but doesn't save any significant amount of $.

Chevy is probably more used to competing against other dealers.

Leasing is OK if you generally trade every 2-3 years anyway. If you buy, usually the next trade-in will be offered at less than the residual would have been. The first lease works very well, if you have a trade that pays for most of the lease.

JUST TURNED MY SRX LEASE IN END OF JUNE,, HI CARMAN ARE THE DEALS ANY BETTER ON THE CTS COUPE,, I HAD HOPED THE 2YR LEASE GOT BETTER,, 2YR AND 3 YR WHAT ARE THE NUMBERS AND REBATES THANX FOR ALL YOUR HELP,,,,SEEMS THE CAR COMPANYS ARE SHRINKING THE REBATES AND INCENTIVES ALSO NOT SEEING ANY ACTIVITY ON THE CTS FORUM GUESS THEY ARE WAITING FOR NEW ONE

When you say IE that GM or Ally is providing $3,500 cash incentive for a lease of this car, is that in Addition to any rebate that is offered?

Is that Lease $$$ there for the dealer to use as extra profit or opt to pass some/all of it to the buyer or does that become part of the standard lease deal if we didn't know about it. On GM websites, they list Rebates and if special low financing, but never the Lease Cash. Thanks!

CarMan, (or anyone that knows), What is the money factor and residual % on the CTS sedan for 39 months at 10k and 12k mils/yr for aug please. The cash back is crazy right now and i might be able to get into one because of that even with 5 rollover payments on my G37x.... Thanks in advance guys!!
